serious as at tirst stated. '&EN 45
The number OF lives lost by the cap

twenty-five, and is likely to reach twenty,
ssven. .. f4 lE.
The party was mainly from the eastern
district Of Brooklyn, and waa known a.
the Crescent Yacht Club. 1t was nomi.
nal organization simply for. the purposes
OF a chowder party or picnic, and in the
depth Of grief and horror that the acci.
don't has plunged 1t members, they are
scarcely able to toll tho particulars Of the
makeup Of their own party.
Tho number Of invited guests. known
only to the persons who extended tLe in.
vitations and not to the others, makes Il
impossible even yet to give a list of the
passengers Of the ill.iated yacht. The
best advices estimate tho whole load at
thirty.seven and the number OF those
saved lB only ten. s..,5 Z.

The survivors and the others Of the
club who were on other boats still cling TO
hope and speak OF the absent as miss
ing, but the Canarsie boutmen have no
doubt that all are lost.
There ia no room for the belief that any
rescuea were made. beyond those accom-.
plished by the heroic work of the coIored
sailor Robinson. They were the women
and children brought ashore by the tug
Edith Dean, Captain Rohde.
The description OF the accident and the
circumstances of the reecues are told alike
by the crew and passengers of the Dean
and those Of the sloop Christians, which
was sailing almost in company with the
Myetery. f44tl. = .,5sIlIi-s..s
